Glancing Blow

Famous quotes containing the words glancing and/or blow:

    But man crouches and blushes,
    Absconds and conceals;
    He creepeth and peepeth,
    He palters and steals;
    Infirm, melancholy,
    Jealous glancing around,
    An oaf, an accomplice,
    He poisons the ground.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And in their blazing solitude
    The stars sang in their sockets through the night:
    Blow bright, blow bright
    The coal of this unquickened world.”
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
